How many non-combat simmers will the Su-26 attract?

[Feathered_IV]

More to the point, how many non-combat flight simmers are specifically interested in the Su26. And if those, how many will consider buying clod.

The SU-26m is nice to fly but not a Spitfire or a Hurricane so it was not for the SU-26m I did buy the game. I hope to fly the next generation of IL2 games with the quality of COD planes, the YAK-1, La-5 or BF-109f2 must be a charm to fly also.

I like to fly everything.

Simple.

And CloD one looks better... and runs better...

I think its quite possible the new IL-2 series will attract civilian air traffic on the large channel maps etc, after improvements are made to the game engine and features. Especially after the SDK allows the community and commercial third parties to fine tune the maps.

They might get a shock playing online.

Sorry, using which civilian transport planes and which effectively working air-to-ground communications systems? And which dynamic weather? You're thinking maybe 10 years into the future. If BoM fails, the game most likely won't be around then, and most likely won't be the best platform for civilian fliers.

Your never going to get over the fact the sim was released unfinished are you. Of course it could fail, but they haven't stopped working on it yet. The game engine was designed for third parties to build aircraft, and there will be no restriction on the type of aircraft. Civilian flight sims don't necessarily have to be commercial traffic only. If the sim survives there is nothing to stop the sim from having some effective air to ground communications, and dynamic weather, as both of which are planned anyway. Of course I'm thinking in the future, which should be obvious to anyone, and doesn't need to be pointed out. If it does happen it doesn't matter how long it takes. If its good people will fly it.
